The Station Fires latest victim: The Arcadia Woodlands. Some of us see these 11 acres as a pristine oak and sycamore forrest. The LA County sees them as the “Santa Anita Reservoir Sediment Removal Project.” Please join other participating bloggers in stopping “the project” sign the petition here. Poised at the edge of a blade? This. You can further pester LA County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich’s office at 213-974-5555

Signed it. I don’t know how to dispose of sediment but this is absurd, no, obscene. After Hurricane Ivan they hauled all of the wreckage to the county ball park complex, burned it and then redid the fields. LA County obviously doesn’t have a long term plan for these kinds of problems, or else there’s an ulterior motive at work here…

Let’s hope that the Arcadia homeowners that don’t want the truck traffic don’t win over the oak and sycamore grove – but as the forest has always been closed to the neighborhood, I guess they don’t have any close connection with it, memories of playing there as children, etc. Also, woodlands provide shelter for those pesky coyotes that Arcadia’s been trapping and killing. I don’t want the trees cut down and I don’t want the Arcadians to have trucks thundering past every day, but there’s go to be another way to get rid of the silt and I’m hopeful the County will find it.

Thanks for posting, PA. What a gorgeous photo of those trees. A beautiful canopy. I signed the petition and also called Mike Antonivich’s office at 213-974-5555. Aired my frustration and disgust. He seemed sympathetic but not hopeful. Such a shame.
